BritBox is seven catalogues under one brand. Rights are bought country by country, so the US, Canada, Australia and the Nordics each stream a different slice of British TV.

You pick the storefronts, the depth - shows only, or every season and episode - and whether you need one snapshot or a recurring run that becomes a log of arrivals and exits. We build the BritBox scraper, turn the sitemap into a BritBox content list per storefront, read every title page from inside its own country and deliver CSV, JSON, XLSX or an API, with field names agreed before the first run.
The engineering is ours: anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving come with the service, with exit points in each of the seven countries. The limits are just as fixed. A BritBox scraping project stays on pages a signed-out visitor can open; we never sign in, never touch the player or its content protection, and we collect the catalogue only - no accounts, profiles, watchlists or viewing history.
Title pages open without an account, and each carries a structured record for the show, its seasons and episodes. Across the full catalogue, this is what we extract from BritBox for every title in every storefront.
Two things the record does not carry. There is no original-channel field - the distributor slot reads BBC even on ITV and Channel 4 titles - so the first-run channel is an enrichment we join from outside. And there is no licence end date: a title is flagged Leaving Soon only in its final week.
Plans, channels and the release calendar form a second dataset, and vary as much as the catalogue.
BritBox is two businesses sharing a name. In Britain the brand belongs to ITV: the standalone UK service closed on 30 April 2024 and its library was folded into ITVX Premium, so a separate BritBox catalogue UK no longer exists. Everywhere else it is BritBox International, owned outright by BBC Studios since February 2024, when it paid GBP 255 million for ITV's half; ITV still supplies programmes under extended content deals. Direct billing runs through BritBox, LLC of New York in most countries and through the BritBox Australia Partnership in Australia.
The South African storefront closed in August 2024. Each storefront has its own path - /us/, /ca/, /au/, /dk/, /fi/, /no/, /se/ - and serves only viewers located in that country. The lists differ because rights do: BritBox licenses from the BBC, ITV and independent studios for a set period, territory by territory, so a series cleared for Canada can sit with another distributor in the US.
Delivery: CSV, JSON or XLSX files, our API or a JSON feed. MCP server on request.
Full plan detailsThe BritBox list of shows is worth little as one flat file. The value sits in the gaps between storefronts and in the changes from one week to the next.
What they share is the need to read the same catalogue again on a schedule, so every arrival, every added season and every title that quietly leaves lands as a dated row per storefront.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Data scraping is the wide term that includes documents, scans and old screens; web scraping is the part that works on websites. We compare sources, daily work, output and cost drivers, give a briefing checklist and walk through two of our projects.
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency. You describe the dataset, we build and operate the collection and hand back files or an API; there is no tool to run and no proxy bill to manage. A BritBox project usually opens with a paid sample - one genre across all seven storefronts, with its seasons, episodes, ratings and country flags - so you can test the storefront map against your own records before committing to a schedule. Delivery goes to S3, GCS, an SFTP drop, a webhook or a database you name.

Yes. The ScrapeIt BritBox API returns the programme id, season and episode numbers, age rating, availability state and storefront as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files or straight into your database. It is built from what a viewer in a storefront country can open without an account - the sitemaps, the title pages, the A-Z and the help centre with its coming-soon tables - and comes with your field names and a storefront filter.
Not from BritBox itself. Its help centre says that because the BritBox catalog changes over time there is no downloadable or static list, and points to the BritBox shows A to Z list at /programmes, which needs no account but shows only the storefront you are in. The sitemap comes closest to a master list: it names every show, film, season and episode once, with the storefronts that carry each. We turn it into a BritBox list of series and a separate BritBox movies list per country - films sit under their own /movie/ path with no seasons - one row per title per storefront, each with its local rating and episode count.
Seven: the US, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. BritBox is not available in the UK - that service closed in April 2024 and its library moved into ITVX Premium - and South Africa closed in August 2024. The catalogues differ because rights are licensed territory by territory. As of September 2026 the sitemap lists about 520 shows and films for the US, 510 for Canada, 270 for Australia and under 80 for each Nordic storefront; just 32 run in all seven. Coronation Street and EastEnders stream only in the US, Call the Midwife everywhere but the US, Doc Martin only in Australia.
Daily, weekly or monthly, set per storefront. Weekly is the minimum if you need exits, because a title carries the Leaving Soon flag only in its final week and the record never states an end date. Daily suits soaps and dailies, which arrive within hours of the UK broadcast and usually expire within 30 days. Output is CSV, JSON, XLSX or a REST endpoint, delivered to S3, GCS, SFTP, a webhook or a database. Every row carries the storefront and the snapshot date, so successive runs stack into a history instead of overwriting each other.
Yes. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor sees on BritBox title pages, the A-Z and the sitemaps, from titles, synopses, seasons and episodes to genres, age ratings, cast and availability in each storefront - and we collect it legally. We work on catalogue pages a signed-out visitor in that country can open, never sign in, and never touch the player, the video stream or its content protection.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
